Echoes of Beauty in the Alhambra
The Alhambra is a palace and fortress complex in Granada, Andalusia, Spain. Built by the Nasrid Dynasty in the mid-13th century, the palace is considered an example of Islamic palace architecture and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Alhambra palace has a unique and otherworldly beauty. The architecture, art, and landscape of the Alhambra are often likened to a fine, centuries-old gem of al-Andalus origin. When people call the palace beautiful, they usually do so within the framework of historical memories that linger or become active in the palace's corridors, courtyards, and estates. One of the most beautiful buildings in the world, the Alhambra's architectural features represent a harmonious blend of styles. The fort's decorative and aesthetic approach was influenced by Islamic, Renaissance and Moorish influences. The geometric patterns on the walls are achieved through tiles and stucco details that occupy the entire decoration of the Alhambra. The ceiling of the palace showcases superb woodwork from ceiling to mid-wall, meticulously depicting recurring themes on brackets. The Alhambra is a building that looms in the realm of emotion and evocation-a building that evokes memory, evokes the past, and evokes the heart. It also evokes the author's persistent commitment to his lost lover. The Alhambra is a mysterious palace of beauty and history, and even a glance at the architectural design tells you a lot about architecture and aesthetics. The Alhambra is in some sense Islamic, Gothic, Romanesque, Orientalist, or some synthetic hybrid, to demonstrate how aesthetics can provide a humanizing history embedded in memory, "a record that can, like so many stories, be Record it." The Alhambra is "a palace and fortress where the history of science and art are vividly intertwined." This study will allow readers to once again experience the beauty of Alhambra, not only the beauty of facts and history, but also the beauty of complexity and logic. When we return to Granada, they, like us, walk through anonymous time.

A Vision of Paradise
For more than half a century, the Mill Reef Club in Antiqua, West Indies, has been the premier private resort in the Caribbean. It began in 1946 when Robertson "Happy" Ward, a Connecticut architect, led a hearty band of adventures in search of a vacation haven free of the cras commercialization that spoiled many enterprises. On the eastern shore of the island they saw their vision of paradise: 1,300 acres of scrub brush and abandoned sugar fields overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Without the aid of many modern conveniences such as electricity or running water, the first members of the Mill Reef Club transformed the property into a community of private homes with a hotel, clubhouse, tennis courts, and expansive golf course. A Vision of Paradise: Robertson Ward and the Mill Reef Club presents an illustrated history of their dedication to realizing their dream. It is a tale of unique experiences: the establishment of Pan Am's weekly "Mill Reef Special" flight from New York, and learning to contend with the mishaps and misadventures of this rough land--hardships that would be unheard of in their other lives. It is also a story of people, many of whom built America's great corporations, creating a diverse community devoted to forging "the good life" in a place where it always required a lot of work. But come what may, they loved it all. As poet laurete Archibald MacLeish wrote at age eighty-five when frail health finally forced him to withdraw: "You don't resign from the Mill Reef Club more than once in a lifetime and not then if you can help it."

Concepts, Policies and Technology for Sustainable Buildings
Peace in the West
From authentic, traditional log cabins and expansive ranches to modern slopeside homes, William Peace is known for his rustic luxury style that celebrates life in the American West. "Stunning photography and thoughtful commentary highlight this tribute to interior designer William Peace, whose 'rustic luxury' style reflects the history and landscapes of the West."--Foreword Reviews The interior design career of William Peace has spanned more than thirty years. His work has crossed stylistic periods, places, and mediums. He is equally at ease designing a multigenerational ranch on thousands of acres; a small, environmentally sensitive cabin deep in the woods; or a modern steel, stone, and glass house overlooking a lake. Peace has created projects so authentic to the American western vernacular as to be indiscernible in place or time. However, he has concurrently created stunning modern projects that offer extraordinary fluidity between the indoors and outdoors due to the melding of indigenous materials to feature the celebrated views. Irrespective of period or aesthetic, he takes his direction from the location, the landscape, and the light. From traditional to modern, rustic to refined, mountains to lakes, and peaks to valleys, Peace's work has been specific to each client and place (in this book, southwestern Montana, northern Idaho, and the Texas Hill country), with a singular and specific design for each homeowner. Peace understands that light and landscape dictate how one lives in the West, and they are critical considerations in designing a home. The cycle of the day in the American West is always dictated by the natural world.

Brunelleschi and the Moment of the Renaissance
A critical biography of the quietly inventive Renaissance architect. Filippo Brunelleschi is at once the most famous and most misunderstood architect of the Renaissance.
